Kapok is a sun loving plant. It likes to grow in a place with good light, which is conducive to photosynthesis and can maintain its later growth. If the potted plants are maintained at home, they can be placed on the balcony and kept in the sunshine for more than 6 hours every day, which is not only conducive to strong growth, but also promotes vigorous flowering. Note that it is not resistant to strong light, in summer when the light is strong, we should do a good job of shading measures, to avoid direct light on the leaves.
It is relatively drought resistant. If it is not watered for a period of time, it will have less impact on growth. However, if it wants to grow healthily, the application of water is essential. Water according to the situation of basin soil, but do not over water to avoid water accumulation. When the winter climate becomes cold, it is necessary to reduce the frequency of water application.
To ensure that the basin bottom has a certain amount of base fertilizer, in the later period of vigorous growth, it needs to be fertilized once a month to ensure that the nutrients can meet the needs of growth. If enough basal fertilizer is applied, the interval of fertilization can be lengthened.
Temperature is also very important for growth, need to maintain the appropriate temperature, suitable for growth temperature in 22 - 30 ℃.
